Clyde Stovetop Tea Kettle

$99.00

Fellow Products’ unobtrusive Clyde kettle is easy to transport and pour thanks to a long, bent handle. Its wide-mouthed “magic” spout holds steam until the kettle is tilted to pour, allowing it to escape naturally, and away from your hand, rather than all at once. Thoughtfully, a harmonic whistle, rather than a haunting screech, sounds once the water inside is boiling. The kettle comes with a max capacity of 1.7 L, and its stainless steel exterior is electric- and gas-stove safe.

00 Extra-Añejo Tequila

$173.00

Aged for three years in new American Oak barrels, Tequila Enemigo’s 00 Extra-Añejo is a dark tequila with plenty of nuance. Nicknamed 00 because it was “flawless from its inception,” this iteration is darker, richer, spicier, and ultimately heftier than silver tequilas, despite its relatively tame ABV (40%). Since its launch, Enemigo has committed to creating the best aged tequila using science-backed decisions and sustainable processes that use far less water.
